It’s not clear who updated Evans’ wikipedia page, but none of what it claims about Evans making “it clear in the past that press and private life are very seperate [sic] and should never be mixed” is sourced. Nor is it proven by Luke’s past comments to the press, and not just to The Advocate.
After many attempts to get an official comment (and even an interview with Luke) we were finally given this statement from his management:
I do not comment on my client’s personal lives in the media. As for Luke, he did so once, a long time ago when he was an inexperienced, young actor and now with maturity and hindsight, he has learned not to engage the press in his personal life again.
We all know how often managers, agents and publicists do in fact comment on their client’s private lives. They do so every time they set up a photo shoot of an actor’s family, announce a client’s engagement, or have a star appear on the red carpet with their current girlfriend or boyfriend.
Not commenting on a client’s personal life only seems to hold true when the said actor is gay. It should also be noted that none of this has definitively come from Evans himself. He’s currently shooting The Hobbit in New Zealand, and more than one publicist in the past has acted without a client’s knowledge.
